> Sequencer
> Seagazer
> Dark Shroud

If you can get to lvl84, you unlock some good gear

 

uh oh
Sorcery is terrible with shade :skull:

 

Point 1: Morph is super cheap, easy to grab, and moderately effective. If you don't want to bother trying to track down a bunch of various uniques and legendaries, grabbing Morph and using recent quest rewards as fillers is a reasonable build.
Point 2: Actually I'm pretty sure that Jester has a 4/4 because you can wear two rings at once, not sure how well that goes with the set bonus
Point 3: Oh why are there T4 powders that's so cursed
Point 4: Shadesteppers... mostly ditch spellspam. You want heavy spell (maybe a bit of tierspell) to max out your hit damage, because your firerate is limited by shadestepper's damage boosts all being individual for one hit.
Point 5: Absolutely do not use sorcery with shadestepper. And honestly using sorcery ID with Acro seems like a good way to get yourself killed too.
Point 6: This was a nice, long rant.

 

Not sure about.. heavy spell with shadestepper.
While Satsujin and backstab are the big part of your dps, the combat outside of vanish still exists, and unless you're keep using sandbagging for vanish cooldown, you're vulnerable.

Also when I tried various builds with shadestepper, I tried TFA cata once - Focused on damage and no intelligence, not much mana sustain either. And I found the problem when you go with less sustain. You must keep focusing on mana before going vanish, because if you go vanish with low mana, you can't do anything because mana doesn't charge while in vanish, and your backstab cost is high. With real heavy spell, this mana issue will be even more crucial, and if it goes worse, stacking mark would be also an issue, too.
(tbh my reason of using Flameshot Hilt for shadestepper is relevant to this. As long as something speical event doesn't happen, since my backstab cost is 1, I have 100% chance of doing backstab in vanish)

In conclusion, spell spam matters for shadestepper. Even if it doesn't require much as those cps-tryharding archer or warrior, it still need kind of sustain

 

Anyway
